Now you see me, Now you Don't: "Cloaking Devices" are no longer Science-Fiction

When you hear "cloaking device" some might think of a sci-fi program that you have seen or an article that was published throughout the years saying that scientists are “close” to being able to cloak but we still have yet to see this in action. The Acoustical Society of America held their 175th meeting during May 7 -11 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. During this meeting research associate Amanda D Hanford at Pennsylvania State University described how she is taking introductory steps to take this technology from the dramatic realm of science fiction and make it a reality. We have heard this before, but this time she actually has results!

The team (lead by Amanda) set out to create a metamaterial that could scatter sound waves underwater. Metamaterial is a synthetic composite material with a structure such that it exhibits properties not usually found in natural materials, especially-so in the case of having a negative refractive index. Prior to this research, most acoustic metamaterial was designed to deflect sound waves in the air… not in water. Acoustic cloaking underwater is more complex because water is denser and less compressible than air.

After multiple attempts to create an underwater acoustic cloak, the team was able to develop a 3-foot tall pyramid that uses perforated steel plates. In their studies they found that when placed on the bottom of an underwater research tank with a hydrophone that emits acoustic waves between 7,000 and 12,000 Hz along with several receivers to monitor the acoustic waves, the wave reflected by the pyramid device matched the wave reflected from the surface. The result was that the material could make an object appear invisible to underwater sonar. Sonar works by sending vibrations through the water, which bounce off a target and back into a detector. So big progress has been made!

I think there is technology available to the parasites that we can not even dream of. The possibilities are endless. Just the stuff Trump's uncle John stole from Nicola Tesla after he died could change the world forever.
What we get to see is outdated scrap that fell under the table. The good stuff is used by the parasites or hidden from our sights to their advantage.

I agree with you. I read an article years ago that said the Government has technology years before they release it to us. With the way the world is it would not surprise me that they have hidden technology.

I hope to get to see some of this amazing technology in my lifetime.

Amazing stuff, the possibilities are quite large for applications of this technology. It always enjoyable to see how that comprehending resonance, frequency, waves, vibrations and electromagnetism can lead to fascinating developments. Thank you for bring such technology to our attention.

It was our pleasure. When technology like this is in the works, everyone should know about it.

I feel like if we are able to read about this "research," it's probably at least a decade or two behind what is already being used, but that's just my opinion.

We agree 100%! Past experience has shown us that they give us the "hand-me-down" technology. It has been away, hope things are going good for you and we are very happy to hear from you!

I'm 100% sure that design does not came from Harlem

You are absolutely right however.... As the saying goes... "There is nothing new under the Sun" Step-Pyramid-of-Djoser.jpg

The actual design looked like this

At first glance I thought this was going to be another post from a so called truther that shows a green-screen blanket with a video of the background on it. But I'm glad to see there's actually intelligence behind this post. It was nice to read.
People that comprehend resonance, frequency, waves, vibrations, and electromagnetism are among the smartest in the world.

Thank you very much for the kind comment. Like Most inventions "In the right hands this technology could do wonders while in the wrong ones it could cause great harm" (Or rather be used to since a cloaking device is technically not a weapon but we never know if there are other purposes that it could serve.) Take for example "Virtual Machines"..... An excellent way to test malicious computer code inside of a compartmentalized environment but while testing it a second benefit was discovered which is it's inability to leaking the original host ip address from within the said environment and when this technology is used as an added layer of protection for an individual (like people who wish to expose the truth without having themselves "put at risk") it offers a layer of protection that some of the absolute BEST firewalls cannot duplicate which makes this a VERY GOOD thing! However the same cannot be said if such technology or a good understanding of it fell into the hands of individuals with malintent (not a real word but shouldn't it be!? ^ ^) like stalkers, pedophiles ect, It could bring about horrible results. It is basically one of those situations where a Gun does not kill people anymore than a Pencil makes a mistake while writing. We are glad that you enjoyed this article and perhaps we could try to throw a little more of this into future articles as well. To be completely honest this was my partner (Electrocutie) who picked this topic and wrote about it and even I have to admit that I was a little blown away myself.

I guess this technology would be the underwater Stealth equivalent. I would not be surprised if the military funded this research.

That is a great way to look at it (underwater stealth). Any technology like this could very well be funded by military/government...

Wow que increíble, de las informaciones que nos enteramos a qui :D

The possibilities with this technology are endless!

Ya me doy cuenta de eso.

😊 I knew you would!

to jest niewiarygodne jak nauka idzie do przodu. Upvote za ciekawy artykuł

It will be interesting to see what they do with this technology and how much further they are able to take it.

Nice one.... Keep up

Thank you. If you could have this technology in the palm of your hands, what would you do with it?

Wooow excellent friend studio is great this great discovery.

Amazing right? To think in our life time we could be able to really cloak something... the possibility are endless.
